Located in the spectacular Coast Mountains of British Columbia just two hours north of Vancouver, Whistler is Canada’s premier year-round resort destination. In fact, SKI Magazine readers ranked Whistler Blackcomb #1 in North America – again!

The Coast Salish First Nations people inhabited the land around Whistler for many thousands of years, hunting and gathering and living a nomadic lifestyle long before European settlers arrived.

From its humble beginnings as a fishing lodge in 1914, to being centre stage for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, Whistler has always been considered a special place and outstanding destination for adventurous spirits.

There’s two majestic mountains with a vibrant base Village, epic skiing and snowboarding, unbeatable shopping, restaurants and bars, accommodation to suit every budget, spas and so much more.

Plus there’s a new cultural connector and signature events like the Whistler Film Festival to experience. So dive in and discover Whistler for yourself while you are here.

The Whistler Film Festival Society is a charitable cultural organization dedicated to furthering the art of film by providing programs that focus on the discovery, development and promotion of new talent culminating with a must attend festival for artists, the industry and audiences in Whistler.
